Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transporting a blade for a wind turbine, comprising the steps of lowering said wind turbine blade into water, whereby it floats, and transporting said blade in the water. The invention further relates to a wind turbine blade with its holes sealed, making the blade transportable by floating, and a blade comprising a keel, propeller and a rudder.
